Speaker of H. C. Speech.

"May it please Your Majesty,

"The Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, do with all Duty and Humility acknowledge that Your Majesty's great Care for the Protection of Your People, in that Your Majesty hath made it One of the First Acts of Your Reign to declare War against the French King, and to seek Reparations for the Loss and Injuries Your Subjects have sustained from that Nation.

"If we consider the Balance of Trade between the Two Kingdoms, we shall find the French King of late Years continually loading the English Manufactures with new Duties and Impositions, thereby prohibiting in Effect all Commerce in His Dominions but for ready Money.

"If we consider our Laws and Liberties, He hath always assisted and encouraged those that have designed their Subversion: If we consider our Religion, the Miseries He hath inflicted upon His own Subjects of the same Profession do sufficiently demonstrate how great an Enemy He is to ours.

"And whoever looks upon the present State of Europe, and fees the Injuries made upon Your Majesty's Allies, the horrible Devastations of their Countries, and the open Supporting of Your Majesty's rebellious Subjects, must needs confess that the War that Your Majesty hath declared against France is, at this Time, not only just, but necessary.

"To this War, as your dutiful and loyal Commons did humbly offer their Advice and Assistance before Your Majesty entered into it; so they are now come to present Your Majesty with a Supply towards the carrying of it on; humbly desiring Your Majesty to rest assured, that they shall never be wanting, to expose both their Lives and Estates in Defence of Your Majesty, against all Your Enemies."
